"Theslaiciueui. that I niued Judge .Smith

The State Department is Informed that
the Japanese minister lias received a cable
gram irom Ins government staling that a
convenuou had Leen signed at Peking for
the payment ot additional iiiiKnuiity for
the evacuation by Japan of the Liao Tung
Peninsula. The amount ot the indemnity
is 300.000,000 mils and its payment U to
lie made on November 1C.
It Is imiic-rsUMoi me evacuation will take
p'acc on January 1 next. The treaty was
negotiated by the .Japanese minister at
Peking, Mr. Hajashi. and the Tsuug LI
Yamen, the latter being the Emperor's
council. It is i.ot unlikely that Li Hung
Chang, who represented China in the
preparation of the treaty of peace at
Bnlmonnsekl last i-pring, was consulted
with respect to the treaty. Inasmuch as he
has been at Peking during tho major
part of the period while negotiations were
iu progress.
Full details of the supplemental treaty
have not yet been received here. It is
eloubtcd, however, whether the Chinese
government, as asserted In some dispatches,
has pledged itself not to cede the peninsula
to any other nation. It Is pointed out by
well posted diplomats that Japan is not
lu a position to demand this concession.
